The Association Between Experienced Discrimination and Pain in the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study
A Brief Overview: Sex Differences in Prevalent Chronic Musculoskeletal Conditions
Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain disorders are some of the most prevalent and disabling chronic pain conditions worldwide. These chronic conditions have a considerable impact on the quality of life of individuals, families, communities, and healthcare systems. Unfortunately, the burden of MSK pain disorders does not fall equally across the sexes. Females consistently demonstrate more prevalent and severe clinical presentations of MSK disorders, and thi…
Insomnia severity and depressive symptoms in people living with HIV and chronic pain: Associations with opioid use
Chronic pain commonly occurs in people living with HIV (PLWH). Many PLWH in the United States obtain opioids for chronic pain management. Whether insomnia severity and depressive symptoms are exacerbated by chronic pain and opioid use in PLWH remains to be determined. This study examined insomnia severity and depressive symptoms in 85 PLWH with chronic pain and 35 PLWH without chronic pain. Among PLWH with chronic pain, reported opioid use was ex…
Unmasking the racism of orthodox international relations/international political economy theory
This article emerges out of the racism debate in Security Dialogue (May 2020). It takes its cue from the passing claim that Orientalism/Eurocentrism is different from racism and that the former is deemed to be relatively innocuous while the latter is viewed as egregious. Here I reveal how Eurocentrism is equivalent to cultural racism. I show how racism has outwardly shapeshifted through time in everyday life and world politics, and how orthodox i…
The Return of the Chinese Tribute System? Re-viewing the Belt and Road Initiative
This piece moves beyond orthodox international relations conceptions of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) by re-viewing it as a neo-tribute system that shares some of the key properties of the historical Chinese tribute system (CTS). We argue that neither of these projects embody imperialist properties but are based rather on relatively harmonious and peaceful relations between China and the members of these respective systems. The principal rea…
Multicultural Origins of the Global Economy: Beyond the Western-Centric Frontier
Westerners on both the left and right overwhelmingly conflate globalisation with Westernisation and presume that the global economy is a pure Western-creation. Taking on the traditional Eurocentric Big Bang theory, or the 'expansion of the West' narrative, this book reveals the multicultural origins of globalisation and the global economy, not so as to marginalise the West but to show how it has long been embedded in complex interconnections and …

Navigating Beyond the Eurofetishist Frontier of Critical IR Theory: Exploring the Complex Landscapes of Non-Western Agency
This article argues that Critical IR theory’s (CIRT) claims to reflexivity, its engagement with “difference,” and its emancipatory stance are compromised by its enduringly Eurocentric gaze. While CIRT is certainly critical of the West, nevertheless its tendency toward “Eurofetishism”—by which Western agency is reified at the expense of non-Western agency—leads it into a “critical Eurocentrism.” While this Eurofetishism plays out differently acros…
A critical-sympathetic introduction to Linklater’s odyssey: Bridge over troubled (Eurocentric?) water
This article provides an ‘engaged’ introduction to this forum on Andrew Linklater’s recently published book, Violence and Civilization in the Western States-Systems . I call this ‘engaged’ because I seek to adjudicate between the critics and Linklater’s book in the hope of building a bridge over troubled water. Given that the key word that underpins many of this forum’s contributions is Eurocentrism, I explore whether, and if so to what extent, L…
The lacuna of capital, the state and war? The lost global history and theory of Eastern agency
The 'R-Word' and 'E-Word' Definitional Controversies: A Dialogue with My Five Interlocutors
In this piece, I reply to the principal criticisms made by my five interlocutors regarding my conception of Eurocentrism. This entails two key aspects with the first section discussing the ‘E-Word definitional controversy’, where I argue, in the light of the forum, that there are various competing definitions of Eurocentrism in postcolonialism which yield commensurable competing non-Eurocentric antidotes. While I defend my own position, I am inte…
The Eastern Origins of the Rise of the West and the “Return” of Asia
Confronting the global colour line: An introduction
Race is a mercurial concept: debates over its ontology, epistemological status, and legitimacy are necessary precisely because race is a moving target; its manifestations vary in history and geography. This chapter discusses some of these debates via a quick tour of the philosophy of race. It argues students of the global colour line which should consider using the categories racialisation and racialised identity over the category race. When it c…
Re-viewing the Eurocentric Conception of World Politics: A Response to Knutsen, Ling, Schmidt, Tickner and Vitalis
This article responds to the five forum pieces that critically engage my 2012 book The Eurocentric Conception of World Politics, the central argument of which is that ever since 1760 international theory has not provided ideologically neutral, universalist explanations of world politics but has been charged, or even mandated, with the provincial objective of defending, promoting or celebrating Western civilization as the highest referent of the w…
The Twin Self-Delusions of IR: Why ‘Hierarchy’ and Not ‘Anarchy’ is the Core Concept of IR
This article deconstructs the twin ‘self-delusions’ of IR to reveal, first, the conventional axiom that the discipline enquires into juridically-equal sovereign state relations under international anarchy masks the dark hierarchical face of IR which promotes, defends and reifies, analytically and/or normatively, Western civilisation over non-Western states, and, second, the conventional axiom that IR operationalises a positivist and/or value-free…
Part 1 – Revealing the Eurocentric foundations of IPE: A critical historiography of the discipline from the classical to the modern era
In this article and in Part 2 I advance a 'critical historiography' of IPE which excavates to the deepest foundations of the discipline. For while I very much welcome Benjamin Cohen's seminal historiographical intervention, nevertheless it obscures two foundational properties of IPE. First, identifying 1970 as the birth-year of IPE produces a distorted image of the discipline's purpose and historiography that can begin to be remedied by rehabilit…
Part 2 – Reconstructing the non-Eurocentric foundations of IPE: From Eurocentric ‘open economy politics’ to inter-civilizational political economy
In Part 1 (this issue), I deconstructed IPE, past and present, to reveal the Eurocentric foundations of the discipline. This second part completes my critical historiography by revealing how Open Economy Politics, which dominates the latest phase of American IPE, is Eurocentric. However, some readers will, quite rightly, want to know why Eurocentrism poses a problem for IPE and what an alternative non-Eurocentric approach might look like. Accordi…
The Eurocentric Conception of World Politics: Western International Theory, 1760–2010
John Hobson claims that throughout its history most international theory has been embedded within various forms of Eurocentrism. Rather than producing value-free and universalist theories of inter-state relations, international theory instead provides provincial analyses that celebrate and defend Western civilization as the subject of, and ideal normative referent in, world politics. Hobson also provides a sympathetic critique of Edward Said's co…
The Big Bangs of IR: The Myths That Your Teachers Still Tell You about 1648 and 1919
International relations as we know them emerged through the peace of Westphalia, and the discipline of International Relations emerged in 1919 and developed through a First Great Debate between idealists and realists. These are the established myths of 1648 and 1919. In this article we demonstrate how historical and historiographical scholarship has demolished these myths, but that the myths regardless are pervasive in the current textbooks that …
What’s at Stake in the Neo-Trotskyist Debate? Towards a Non-Eurocentric Historical Sociology of Uneven and Combined Development
This article seeks to appraise the direction that historical sociology has undertaken within Millennium in the last four decades while simultaneously laying out the groundwork for a ‘thirdwave’ historical sociology of international relations. In particular, I intervene in the current neo-Trotskyist debate concerning whether the concept of uneven and combined development (U&CD) should be historically generalised or merely confined to the modern ca…
Back to the future of nineteenth-century Western international thought?
The postmodern [European] state ... needs to get used to the idea of double standards. Among themselves, the postmodern states operate on the basis of laws and open co-operative security. But when dealing with more old-fashioned kinds of state outside the [Western] post-modern limits, Europeans need to revert to the rougher methods of an earlier era – force, preemptive attack, deception, whatever is necessary for those who still live in the ninet…
Liberal International theory: Eurocentric but not always Imperialist
This article has two core objectives: first to challenge the conventional understanding of liberal international theory (which we do by focussing specifically on classical liberalism) and second, to develop much further postcolonialism’s conception of Eurocentrism. These twin objectives come together insofar as we argue that classical liberalism does not always stand for anti-imperialism/non-interventionism given that significant parts of it were…

Is critical theory always for the white West and for Western imperialism? Beyond Westphilian towards a post-racist critical IR
In appraising critical IR theory after twenty-five years, this article begins by asking whether critical theory implicitly reinforces the ‘superiority’ of Western civilisation and naturalises Western imperialism. In revealing the Eurocentrism of much of critical IR theory the article proceeds to reconstruct it by steering it in fresh non-Eurocentric directions. This is not to say that extant critical theory is moribund since it undoubtedly has mu…
The Enduring Place of Hierarchy in World Politics: Tracing the Social Logics of Hierarchy and Political Change
Conventional wisdom maintains that since 1648 the international system has comprised states-as-like units endowed with Westphalian sovereignty under anarchy. And while radical globalization theorists certainly dispute the centrality of the state in modern world politics, nevertheless most assume that the state retains its sovereignty under globalization. In contrast we argue that hierarchical sub-systems (and hence unlike units) have been common …
What is History in International Relations
To some extent, history has always been a core feature of the international imagination. On both sides of the Atlantic, leading figures in the discipline such as E. H. Carr, Hans Morgenthau, Martin Wight, Hedley Bull and Stanley Hoffman have all employed history as a means of illuminating their research. Indeed, Wight made searching the desiderata of international history the sine qua non of international theory, the best that could be hoped for …

Globalisation Makes of States What States Make of It: Between Agency and Structure in the State/Globalisation Debate
Across the social sciences the last decade has witnessed a proliferating interest in the relationship between the state and globalisation. By the early 1990s a range of writers working within what we label a structuralist approach asserted that globalisation is, if not challenging the viability of the sovereign state, then at least forcing it to adapt its policies to conform to the new global reality‐being 'hollowed out', as the phrase had it. Th…

Reimagining Weber: Constructing International Society and the Social Balance of Power
This article `reimagines' Max Weber, who is conventionally thought to be one of realism's founding fathers. While Weber's work had various ambiguities and tensions, we suggest that his conception of IR had much in common with liberalism, and especially the English School. Nevertheless, our `reimagining' of Weber augments in a sustained and particular way an area of analysis that has not been consistently or sufficiently developed within the Engli…

Debate: The 'second wave' of Weberian historical sociology - The historical sociology of the state and the state of historical sociology in international relations
With the current concern to critique neorealism, international relations (IR) theorists are looking to a variety of new perspectives as a way forward. Various authors have taken a specific interest in Weberian historical sociology (WHS), outlined in the works of Michael Mann and others. Nevertheless, there is currently only a rudimentary understanding of the approach within IR, and perhaps even less understanding of how it can be applied to IR. T…

Back to the future of ‘one logic or two’: Forward to the past of ‘anarchy versus racist hierarchy’
This article argues that while the attempt by Alex Callinicos to construct a non-reductionist approach for theorizing the international is brave, it falls short of the target due, in part, to the failure to look in the right place for a non-reductionist Marxism. In taking us ‘back to the future’ of the debate on ‘one logic or two?’ (‘economics’ or ‘geopolitics and economics’), the quest can at best result only in the construction of a thin materi…

The State and International Relations
This book, first published in 2000, provides students with an overview of the main theories of the state found in International Relations. Many International Relation scholars are proclaiming the state to be 'dead', while others lament the lack of an adequate theory of the state in International Relations. John Hobson seeks to resolve this confusion by introducing readers to state theory, arguing that existing theories of the state are limited, a…
Everyday Politics of the World Economy
How do our everyday actions shape and transform the world economy? This volume of original essays argues that current scholarship in international political economy (IPE) is too highly focused on powerful states and large international institutions. The contributors examine specific forms of 'everyday' actions to demonstrate how small-scale actors and their decisions can shape the global economy. They analyse a range of seemingly ordinary or subo…
The ‘second state debate’ in International Relations: Theory turned upside-down
This article argues that conventional understanding of how IR theory conceptualizes the state is in need of revision. By relocating IR theories of the state within the ‘second state’ debate, we find that neorealism underestimates the power of the state in world politics, while neoliberal institutionalism exaggerates its power. Moreover, liberalism, constructivism, Marxism, postmodernism, and ‘second-wave’ Weberian historical sociology, all endow …

Bringing the State Back in, Kicking the State Back Out: Reconstructing the Identity of the Discipline of International Relations
Disappearing taxes or the ‘race to the middle’? Fiscal policy in the OECD
At least in the Anglo-Saxon countries – Australia, Britain, and the United States – we have grown accustomed to the all too familiar refrain, almost always proclaimed by right-wing governments – that under globalisation, taxes are 'disappearing' and that 'there is no alternative' but to slash spending on education and welfare. Ironically, many academics – especially radicals and Marxists – endorse this proposition; 'ironically' that is, because t…

The Eastern Origins of Western Civilisation
John Hobson challenges the ethnocentric bias of mainstream accounts of the Rise of the West. It is often assumed that since Ancient Greek times Europeans have pioneered their own development, and that the East has been a passive by-stander in the story of progressive world history. Hobson argues that there were two processes that enabled the Rise of the 'Oriental West'. First, each major developmental turning point in Europe was informed in large…

Mann, the state and war
Michael Mann's two-volume magnum opus , The Sources of Social Power , is, in my opinion, one of the most impressive works of scholarship produced in the last fifty years. Indeed, the striking mix of empirical sensitivity and sweeping historical narrative within a sophisticated theoretical framework is such that the informal label of Mann as the ‘modern-day Max Weber’ is – despite his effacious modesty – richly deserved. That said, I do see some s…
Eurocentrism and Neorealism in the `Fall of Mann: Will the Real Mann Please Stand Up
Michael Mann's pioneering work provides insights not just into world history and historical sociology but also promises much for the discipline of International Relations (IR). However, I argue that Mann's theory suffers from a number of internal inconsistencies which, in turn, threaten the integrity of his overall model. Specifically, I claim that importing various neorealist insights into his work threatens Mann's commitment to historical socio…
